Der Werwolf: The Annals of Veight Volume 5 by Hyougetsu

5.0

For more or less the whole Rolmund arc, which is 4?/5-7: nice, and the political stuff is interesting. I really like how the problems aren't by miscommunication or incompetence... it's a clash of interest and beliefs.

This volume is mostly for setting the scene for the next few volumes, so it's not as impactful as the next two, but you can't read them alone.

In any case, you more or less feel for all of those in line for the Rolmund's throne. It reads even sadder because there isn't anyone who's just purely evil, and there isn't much of miscommunication. Although they're all good leaders, they can't coexist. And so it's interesting and a good read. In the author's note, I think he did say something like... having a separate nation to do this kind of political intrigue and mess... it keeps it separate from the Meraldian part, and it's perfect. I mean, I did miss Airia, but that's a minor thing. I loved this arc, and I'll miss Eleora.
